I only test mine first thing in the morning 2-3 times a week or if I suspect certain foods I’ve eaten have spiked my BG. A 3 monthly hba1c won’t give me that information.

For weeks my BG has been in the low 5s, not done every day but on average 2-3 mornings a week just to check. This morning is 7.5! But I’ve just been diagnosed with shingles……in my big toe of all places and the rash is creeping up my foot. :( My foot, ankle and lower leg are very swollen so am I...

Well done on reducing your numbers! Very impressed. Sorry I’m a bit late to this post, could you stop the Dapagliflozin to be able to take mounjaro? That’s what I did :)

5.7 at 8am. Feeling really tired and would love to go back to bed but meeting a friend for a dog walk. Dull and cloudy here this morning. Have a terrific Tuesday everyone x

I was sent the information but as I’m on Mounjaro (through the nhs) I didn’t want to risk coming off that and going on a placebo @Sally66 Did you hear on the news yesterday that you can get weight medication on the nhs now if you have a high bmi, also other health problems like diabetes, high...

5.8 at 7:25. Had a dreadful night as in pain most of the time and too tired to get up to resolve it with painkillers but eventually got up at 3am! @Diawara our church clock is usually 2 minutes slow :joyful: Have a lovely day everyone, although very warm, there’s quite a strong breeze x

A very god morning to you all. 5.2 here at 6:35! Yep early for me but lots to do today and already 17° here expected high of 31° Dogs will have a short walk this morning. Stay cool everyone and have a good day :cool: X

I’m more than joyful. In fact I’m jumping for joy around the sitting room as I’ve just read my latest Hba1c test results!

Hi @Irish Jenny What a great account of your journey and I follow nearly all of the people you mentioned, on YouTube. When people tell me carnivore is not sustainable I tell ‘em to go and watch Kelly Hogan (she says her only vice is a coffee every morning) on ‘My zero carb life’ as she’s been...

5.2 at 7:23! Ha! Yes, very precise time, only because I looked up at the cooker clock as the metre was counting down from 5 :joyful: My wonderful daughter bought me 2 trees for my birthday which finally arrived yesterday. They’re already about 3m tall! She’s coming to plant them for me this...

I’d like to join in but I weigh myself on Mondays now. Good luck guys and well done everyone for sticking with it :cool:

@SimonP78 I’d love to and so would the dogs but being 3 stone overweight plus ongoing back surgery investigations, jogging would be the worst exercise only adding to my problems, but thank you for your kind suggestion. :cool:

I rely on my morning fasting BG as it gives me an indication of my progress and whether I’ve had too many carbs the previous day. If my insulin levels are high I don’t lose weight which I think is typical of most T2 diabetics and I need to lose weight and get my blood pressure down! As...

I’ve just bought a rebounder (mini trampoline) to try and get my heart rate up. I walk the dogs everyday but as it’s flat round here my heart rate never exceeds 100! Good luck with the exercises :cool:

Have you considered seeing the dentist for a gum shield to wear in the night? My daughter did this as she was getting migraines. @ChrisT2 that looks like paradise, where about in Greece are you? 5.3 @ 7:30. It’s foggy here but supposed to clear later this morning. Have a good day whatever...

Pumpkin seeds - read that these are a better source of magnesium than taking a supplement so I rushed out and bought 2 bags :joyful:

Yesterday was 9pm! Only because my daughter phoned in tears to say her kitten got out and she couldn’t find her so I drove there to help. Unfortunately that meant I didn’t get home until 8:30 and hit the Carr’s crackers (as stated in my other post) and coffee with almond milk and a slosh of...

I get my Mounjaro on the nhs. In fact my GP phoned and said I fit the NICE guidelines as I was going to pay for it myself. I’m overweight, have hypertension and bmi of 33 (was 35.5). Go back to your GP or see a different one and ask again is my advice. I’m what is called a ‘slow responder’ as...

6.1 at 7am! Those pesky Carr’s crackers, why are they even in my house you may ask!? Have a marvellous Monday everyone x

Yep I’ve been on it since mid March. I’d applied to my local pharmacy to pay for it myself then I had a phone call from my GP to say I fulfilled the NICE guidelines so could have it on the nhs! :eek: @mycanal my bmi was 35.8 at that time but has now gone down to 33.5. BG is now in the 5s and...
